Terminal Wont Do Anything

Hi all,

Here's the thing, my sterminal will not take any code what so ever! It always comes up with:

-bash: ifconfig: command not found

doesn't matter what it is I'm doing,

-bash: open: command not found

etc.

Anything I put in comes out as ":command not found"

I've removed the "com.apple.Terminal.plist" and still nothing. I've restarted the computer, nothing, I've tried "iTerm" same thing.

What have I done?

If it helps, I don't know what I did to make this happen?

Thanks all!

Open Terminal and type: echo $PATH
What do you get?

Hi cardom,

this is what I get

$:/opt/local/bin

Sorry neub to terminal!

well, you're not pathed to anything.

this will get you moving along at least..

/bin/echo "/sw/bin:/sw/sbin:/usr/bin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/sbin:/usr/local/bin" >> ~/.profile


as to why your account doesn't have this pathed in the first place... ??

If he doesn't use Fink, he doesn't need the /sw/ paths and could get errors, otherwise that should get him going.
Do an ls -la and see if you have any of the following:
.bash_profile
.bashrc
.profile

If so, copy and paste here. If not, don't know what changed your path.

Also do you have any files which end in .term?

yea, I just pasted my base path in there and forgot to remove those, remembered other stuff like my dscli pathing
